Jenireth: Hi Nico I'm very good and you? how have you been?
Nicole: fine studying a lot, talking about that you saw the importance of the use of iron and steel in construction, everything goes in the reading of the class is super interesting.
Jenireth: Yes, I read it is super interesting to see how this material produces stronger structures and uses less material using bricks, concrete or wood.
Nicole: Is amazing how accurate the properties of this material have completely changed the world of construction and design.
Jenireth: I have only one question ... Above is also used iron and steel?
Nicole: Of course they were used to bond masonry (dowels and clamps) for the tension members (chains strengthening of the domes, the straps through arches to reinforce the vaults), and roofing, doors, windows ydecoración. Cast iron also, the first metal may be substituted for traditional structural materials used in the construction of bridges so soon.
Jenireth: Oh yeah, and I remember his ability to sorportar weight makes it a great material ... I have seen many examples of architectural work with this technique, you know any?
Nicole: I have not looked into that .. know them?
Jenireth: Of course, the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Tower or the bridge Abraham Darby
Nicole: I don't know that, well thank you very much for the information jeni, you have a good night!
Jenireth: Good Night friend, always the order;) see you in class!

In the field of the architecture is very important to know about the differents materials of construction that exist in the world because depends on the material we will use and the design that will have our project, the result will be a excellent and lasting creation.
Thanks to this class, now I know about the types of building materials like the bricks, steel, reinforced concrete, cast iron, wood, steel, concrete, aluminum and plastic. I know too that exist differents forms of bricklaying as the common bond and the running bond.
For me the bricks and the cast iron are the most useful materials because both are strong in compression and can be cast to any shape. The two most notable differences between the brick and the cast iron is that this latter is much expensive and heavier than the brick. The weakness of the brick and the cast iron is that are weak in tension.
WOOD
Cheap
Lightweight
Strong in compression and tension
Rots, swells and burns easily
Used to build houses out of wood
Softwood
PLASTIC
High strength plastic fabric
Expensive
Flexible
Lightweight
Long-lasting
Strong in compression and tension
ALUMINUM
Expensive
Doesn't rust
Lightweight
Strong in compression and tension
Good conductor of temperature
BRICK
Heavy
Weak in tension
Not expensive
Strong in compression
CONCRETE
Made with cement, water and small stones
Cheap
Fireproof and weatherproof
Molds to any shape
Strong in compression
Cracks with temperature changes
Weak in tension
REINFORCED CONCRETE
Made with steel bars hidden in concrete
Low cost
Can crack as it cools and hardens
Fireproof and weatherproof
Molds to any shape
Strong in compression and tension
CAST IRON
Made with iron lots of carbon
Mold to any shape
Strong in compression
Weaker than steel in tension
Breaks without warning
So expensive
Heavy
STEEL
High strenght steel
Made with iron with a touch of carbon
So expensive
One of strongest matrials used in contruction
Strong in compression and tension
Ruts
Loses strength in extremely high temperatures
